This project has been set up at an investment of about Rs 1,500 cr mainly on non-agricultural land and generation of electricity has been achieved without affecting the natural eco-system with zero carbon emission

DIPP is holding series of meetings with concerned departments and ministries including steel, railways, defence, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, electronics, telecommunications, heavy industries, textiles, shipping and power in this regard.

The government is ready with tenders for an addition of 20 gigawatt (20,000 megawatt) solar power, with the successful bidder mandated to have production facility to manufacture nearly half the equipment requirement.

Apart from the locally-developed solar pump, Grundfos is using energy efficient, IT-enabled offerings from its Danish parent’s portfolio as differentiators in the Indian market that is dominated by low-cost products of suspect quality and efficiency.
